Wild Nothing, the project of
Virginia-based singer-songwriter Jack Tatum, harked
harks back to synth-pop, dream-pop and twee-pop of the 1980s.
The polished and atmospheric songs of Gemini (Captured Track, 2010) range from the melancholy Live in Dreams to the breezy Summer Holiday,
from the propulsive Confirmation to the
pulsating The Witching Hour.
The oneiric Drifter evokes the Cocteau Twins without the witchy female singer.
Our Composition Book combines the pace of Katrina And The Waves's Walking on Sunshine and a pop melody from the Sixties.
The problem is that, even at their best, the songs are mostly derivative and amateurish, rarely
displaying artistic ambitions.
A captivating melody finally emerges out of Chinatown, that also
boasts the most creative (poly)rhythm.
